I thought you said your mom owned the floor? Which.. wouldn't that put her above the store manager? O.o

As I've said- the key thing for homework in my mind, should to be reinforce what they have learnt during the day- otherwise they could very easily forget it and to prepare them for what's ahead.
I just don't see how making kids do something, that it's quite obvious majority of them are just going to do to get done, meaning copy someone else's, convince their parents to give them the answers [in those insanely sly kids ways] or even just do stuff on a calculator/online. That's not really reinforcing what they've learned?
